I need 1.25"... and can I get it in Red?JackA said:Are you taking orders? I need one for 1 1/18'' tie rod.
Very nice as always.
Yes, just the tension of the clamped mount.slotoy said:what's there to hold it on the tierod other than 2 bolts?? is it just a sleeve clamped w/ 2 bolts??
yea i would think the tension of the clamped mount is no where near the force of the ram.. seems to me it could slip if u wedge your tires and crank on the ram.. i mean rams can break knuckles when they aren't set right.. think how easy it could slide that clamp if the tires are wedged good.. let us know how it works out..ROKTOY said:Thanks guys.

For steel tie rods you can simply weld two 1/4" plates to the rod. Much easier.
jay i run a simialer setup as your clamp. i disagree that just welding tabs on a steel tie rod is easier. first of all gettin the mount in the proper position is way more simple with the clamp because you can cycle the steering and move the clamp as needed. second, carryin a spare tie rod is easier with out haveing to build a second mount and also the mount is not stickin out. ( i carry mine in a PVC tube with screw on ends )ROKTOY said:Thanks guys.

You make good points Camo. I was just thinking getting the tabs on would be eaiser. Given the setup and other points you mention, the clamp does seem a better way to go regardless of tie rod material.camo said:

Justin, you damn Newbie, that was a good one..quadrunner said:Heck I don't know how I made it this far.
Thanks for pointing that out to me.
Do I have any more loose bolts?
